How Does Heat Recovery Work on Refrigeration?
In commercial refrigeration, energy efficiency is key to reducing operational costs and environmental impact. Heat recovery is an often-overlooked solution that makes use of waste heat generated by refrigeration systems. But how does it work, and what are the benefits?
How Heat Recovery Works
Refrigeration systems work by removing heat from a cold space, typically transferring it outside. Instead of letting this heat dissipate as waste, heat recovery systems capture and repurpose it. This recovered heat can be used for:
Water heating – Ideal for providing hot water for cleaning, kitchens, or heating systems.
Space heating – Supplementing building heating, reducing reliance on gas or electric heaters.
Key Benefits of Heat Recovery
Lower energy costs – Reduces heating expenses by using heat that would otherwise be wasted.
Improved sustainability – Decreases carbon footprint by maximising energy efficiency.
Enhanced system efficiency – Reducing waste heat can improve the performance of refrigeration units.
